Animal Profile: Meet Roo! Roo is 5 year old, Spaniel mix who was surrendered to our incredible
rescue partner Saving Shelter Strays. He
is in a loving TX foster home while waiting for his ride to the PNW and is healthy and thriving.
Foster Update:
This tiny little lady may only weigh 7 pounds, but her heart is enormous! Roo's favorite place in the world is a warm lap, and once she settles into her new home, she will be your loyal shadow, following you from room to room and happily curling up with you every chance she gets.
Roo will need a little time to decompress and feel safe in a new environment. With patience, consistency, and a predictable routine, she blossoms into a devoted and loving companion who looks to her person for comfort and guidance.
She is crate trained and doing wonderfully with potty training when given regular opportunities to go outside. Roo walks on leash, but because she can get startled by loud noises, a slip lead will be important to keep her safe. She's still nervous in the car and will need a secure, cozy spot while riding.
Roo gets along with other dogs and we believe a home with another confident dog to show her the ropes would be extremely beneficial. A home without cats is best, as she does like to chase them.
Like many small dogs, Roo can be a little protective of what she loves most. She perfers not to share food with other dogs, and can be protective if she's cuddled in on your lap. With clear direction she is understanding boundaries in the home.
Roo is a sweet little dog in a tiny package who will quickly work her way into your heart. If you're looking for a devoted cuddle companion who just needs a little patience to shine, Roo might be your perfect match.
